Community health centers are entering a time period where operational margins are tightening, cash flow is more important than ever, and many leaders are struggling to develop a strategic game plan for the future. It is important now, maybe more than ever, to have the business side of your health center running at optimum levels. It is vital that health centers get paid for all services they provide, that provider productivity is at a reasonable level, and that the pharmacy program is generating the appropriate level of savings. This session will discuss common operational problems that health centers face and will explore ways to improve various revenue streams to help ease the financial burdens during these turbulent times.

Learning Objectives:

  • To understand how optimizing the revenue cycle of a community health center eases financial tensions.
  • To understand typical health center operational issues that may need addressed.
  • To understand the margin improvement that is available by making some simple operational changes.
